Fantastic thriller

Rating: 9/10 (17 August 2006)

After building the background carefully in a very engaging manor (which takes ONLY 15 to 20 minutes), it is action-packed all the way to the end.
This film, very smartly, offers elements (especially on the special effects) from Matrix, a bit of total Recall, a bit of Blade Runner, and a bit of Star Wars. McGregor and JoHansson both did a fantastic job and Hounsou, as hired security guy played along very well.
The plot is somewhat original and most of the action takes place in the snazzy futuristic LA. You will be on the edge of your seat from minute 20 all the way to the end.
